It's interesting times in which we live. With tweets about #ElectionDay, newspaper, radio, yard signs, folks continue to miss the time to vote.As a result, 12% of the registered voters in one Kansas community voted on the
Day. It's discouraging. Democracy is better than that.It's encouraging,
in that, the Kansas Section Election is still counting votes. If elected,
the encouragement may be when folks complain, maybe the complainers can
make a mental note of their vote (not HOW they voted but DID they
vote).It's hard to get good help. One race had ONE vote determine the
outcome of the election.SO! VOTE! If you don't vote, please don't
complain. If you've not voted in the Kansas Section ARRL election, you are running out of time to mail your ballot to Newington.
